Pros

Show up to work 30 minutes late, take back door in. Read sports, CNN, (Alt + Tab) to random excel spreadsheet when manager walks by until 11:30AM 2 hour lunch at Whole Foods / Nap at Barnes Noble (if you're in JRC Office) Real actual work is about 2-3 hours a day that I could do with my eyes closed (Learn VBA & don't share) Leave 6pm on the dot. Rinse, repeat. . Can't get fired or laid off if you're in with the right people and know your stuff.

Cons

It's very hard to pretend you're busy. Working at Citco makes you fat. You're more likely to smoke... and drink obsessively on weekends

Pros

Flex time in the summer, medical, employee events

Cons

80 hour work weeks in busy season. Rushed training. Unfair review practices. Will push you out if you dont fall into certain social groups.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review as we see all feedback as an opportunity to improve. As you point out, the cyclical nature of our business means that there are certain times of the year when people are extraordinarily busy which leads to longer working hours that we would like. However, we do try to try to balance this with policies and practices that promote and support health and wellbeing such as the Summer Flex time and employee events. Thank you for your feedback. We would also encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.

Pros

There's beer in the fridge? There's also beer in the fridge at almost any other employer in SF. There's a million other companies in SF and the Bay Area that will pay you more and value you more.

Cons

Pay is bad. Work is boring. Conservative workplace. Workplace sexism. Many managers don't help onboard or mentor.

Dignity and Respect is a cornerstone of our management development programmes, to ensure our values are embedded in our leadership philosophy and practice. We have well published procedures for investigating and dealing with any perceived practice to the contrary. Thank you for your review.
